Brendan Rodgers believes that Arsenal go into tomorrow’s FA Cup tie against Liverpool facing a challenge to recover confidence, having been “exposed” in their 5-1 defeat at Anfield last weekend.

Eight days after they suffered their biggest loss against Liverpool for half a century, Arsenal meet them again, this time at the Emirates Stadium, and Rodgers has questioned whether enough time has elapsed for Arsène Wenger and his players to get such a setback out of their systems.

Rodgers highlighted Arsenal’s performance in their goalless draw against Manchester United in midweek to support his hypothesis.
